Techniques

I have used the pressure wash with good effects and have used with degreasers as well. This has produded good results but have noticed over time that some paint can be damaged.

I have just purchased an 86 560SL and want to clean the engine components and bay. I have given it a cursory cleaning with the hose and some orange cleaner. Ok this was ok but did not provide the results I was looking for. My experience with the orange clean products is that it leaves a residue and can attract more dirt. I use a soft bristle brush. I am consideing the steam clean (low pressure) if I can find a good outfit in the San Diego area.
